"Although starting a Shopify store from the ground up with your own products or services can be a great way to begin a side hustle or even a full time job, there’s another way to get your piece of the ecommerce pie — by purchasing an existing ecommerce store.

"Buying an online business however is arguably a less straightforward affair: the internet is in many ways a ‘wild west’ and the businesses it contains can be very young. It can be hard to know who to trust or indeed even where to find a business to buy; the whole process can feel very scary. To help investors navigate this minefield, Shopify — one of the world’s leading e-commerce solution providers — has developed a platform called Shopify Exchange: a marketplace which aims to makes it safer and simpler to both buy and sell a Shopify store." - Style Factory
